One grandmother of mine liked to collect antique teacups. Seeing yours there made me think of her and smile; she was a knitter, gone long before I knew to ask her about what-all she'd made on her needles in her life. Thank you for the picture, thank you for the little tap of memory on the shoulder that gave me.

Beautiful cloth, I even love the color you used. Now I just have to learn to crochet. Thank you for posting the pattern.

Oooh, it's very pretty! If only I could crochet.... Ok actually I can, but my skills are VERY limited - I learned to knit first, and I never got around to REALLY attempting crochet, although I did make a few little snowflakes several years ago.

Thanks for the sweet tater offer, but my mothers' neighbor gave me a
home-grown sweet tater from his garden. Them store bought kind
do not sprout good!

I love your patterns!

But I can't seem to get the pattern (Blossom Stitch Cloth) to come out correctly at the end of the first row. Have ripped it out 6-7 times already. What is the last stitch on the first row? Mine keeps coming out w/the dc, ch1, dc, and no room to complete the "skip 1 ch and sc into next chain". What am I doing wrong? HELP!!!
